Subject: netfilter 21/41: xt_hashlimit fix

    netfilter: xt_hashlimit fix
    
    Commit 784544739a25c30637397ace5489eeb6e15d7d49
    (netfilter: iptables: lock free counters) broke xt_hashlimit netfilter module :
    
    This module was storing a pointer inside its xt_hashlimit_info, and this pointer
    is not relocated when we temporarly switch tables (iptables -L).
    
    This hack is not not needed at all (probably a leftover from
    ancient time), as each cpu should and can access to its own copy.
